Box Blind Size

[SteppedInIt]

I need to build a box blind, for two grown people and also a small child that may go from time to time. What size would you recommend? 4x6, 4x8 or ? I was actually thinking of a 5x?. I don't want it too big, but want to be comfortable.

We use 4x6 for 2 people. And 4x8 for 3 or 4 people. We have a center card table - shooting bench in the 4x8.

How long do you typically sit for?

4×6 or 4x8 for short periods
5x6 or 6x6 for long periods

We use 4X8 for multiple people and 4X4 for singles.

This blind will be mostly for bringing kids and the wife. So nothing serious and probably not long outings.

On the ground, or elevated?

All the more reason for additional room

4x8 is minimum to sit comfortable for long periods. Of coarse it needs to be well stocked and have a quality recliner swivel chairs as well.

I'm not going to elevate this blind. I am thinking about building it on skids so I can easily move it if necessary. This is more of a "backyard" blind if you know what I mean.

A heater and air conditioning would be a plus too. Maybe internet and TV also.

I have the heater and internet in mine
I don't much care if kids, grandkids or outlaws get cold they can supple their own.

Have two 4x8's on skids use a 2x4 as a jack system to level them.

I have 4x4 and 4x6 but will make 4x8's from now on so I can get in there early stretch out and take a nap before light. I am thinking of building a 5x10 on a utility trailer so I can just hook to it and move from one field to the next with the ranger.

I just use an old Winnebago.

Plastic water tank is my favorite ground blind. Usually range from free to cheaper than materials to build one.

I really like the 5x5s. They are just right IMO. It not too big for one person but you can put 2 if your need to. The 5x and 6x are really nice to be able to stretch your legs out in.

I have a ton of free totes.. problem is they all had mulch die in them and that crap never comes completely out and stains easily..

Because of the lay of the land mine are all elevated from 8-14 foot. Only one has a door and windows.

We've seen pics of you Sky.
Ain't no way you're going to fit in a dang tote and you know it.
